How You Book the Date

You call (512) 297-7493 and pick a weekday or weekend date. The date gets confirmed after the call. $400 materials deposit books that date.

Balance is due on completion. Non standard work is quoted before any work begins. Service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor.

What Holds a Booked Date

The $400 is what holds the chosen date. You get told if that date has to move. Use (512) 297-7493 for any notice.

Do not treat the date as held until the deposit is in. Call to make sure it is booked.

If the Site Will Not Be Ready

Call (512) 297-7493 if the site will not be ready on the booked date. Choose a different date. That date gets confirmed.

Tell the number as soon as you know. The superintendent should not wait until the crew is en route.

Call Before the Drywall Crew Leaves

Penetration location, line set route and drain routing are confirmed at the site walk. Open walls keep those in the standard install. Closed drywall makes them quoted work.

Set the install date to the day the drywall crew leaves. That is when the walls are still open.

Weekday and Weekend to Fit the Date

Weekday standard single zone is $2,400, materials and labor. Weekend is $2,600. Take the weekend rate when that is the day that fits the drywall leave.

One JOKER DAY each week is priced lower than the weekday rate. Which day it lands on changes week to week and is revealed on the home page.

One Number for the Bid Line

The estimate carries one line item. The job uses one phone number.

Call (512) 297-7493 to set up repeat scheduling. All date changes go to that number.

$2,400 weekday. $2,600 Saturday or Sunday. One Joker day each week is priced under the weekday rate. The day moves week to week and it is shown on the home page, so if your schedule has slack you can aim at it.

Non standard work is quoted before any work begins. Nothing gets added to the number without you approving it first.

Questions builders ask
What if the date has to move?
Call (512) 297-7493. Pick a new date. The new date gets confirmed. You will be told of any change to it.
What if drywall is already closed?
Call while the drywall crew is still on site. Closed walls can push penetration, line set and drain out of standard. Those items then need a quote before work.
How do I put a number in the bid today?
Plug $2,400 for a weekday standard single zone, materials and labor. Plug $2,600 for a weekend date. The $400 deposit is how the date is booked.
What takes it over the $2,400 figure?
Work outside a standard single zone. That work receives a quote before labor starts. The site walk is the place it is identified.
Who confirms permit requirements?
Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Confirming that is on the owner or the general contractor.
